The Serenity Prayer (Complete Version)

[EasternPriest]

God,

Grant me the Serenity

to accept the things I cannot change;

Courage to change the things I can; and

Wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;

Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.

Taking, as He did,

this sinful world as it is,

not as I would have it,

Trusting that He will make all things right,

If I surrender to His will.

That I may be reasonably happy in this life,

And supremely happy

With Him forever in the next.

Serenity Prayer in Irish (short version)

A Thiarna

Cuidigh liom a bheith s‡sta

glachadh leis an mŽid

nach fŽidir liom a athrœ,

Tabhair an misneach dom

athrœ a dhŽanamh nuair is fŽider;

Ach go mor mor,

Tabhair an aigne dom

an d‡ chinŽal a athint —na chŽile

And for those of you whose Irish is a little rusty here's the phonetic pronounciation...

A Heerna
